Here is my solution for boring meetings, charge money for them. It usually won't be money that gets funneled into your private pocket, it will be added to a team war-chest for fun-days, extra training and offsite activities. The reason that so many useless meetings exist is that no one has to float the bill. The second some suit in a different department needs to justify the expenses of calling too many people to too many non-productive meetings they diminish drastically.

  It doesn't really matter what the purpose of the meeting is, it costs the organization money in lost time & productivity, so someone needs to be billed for it. You want a display of power, great - float the damn bill for your show.
